By reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels, countries are attempting to shield their economies from global price shocks while fostering new domestic manufacturing sectors for turbines and batteries. Despite the growth of the green economy, significant hurdles remain. Grid bottlenecks and slow permitting processes continue to delay the connection of new renewable projects, highlighting the urgent need for modernized electricity infrastructure to support a low carbon power system.
